eBay Seller watchgrabber

[MoT]

On 8/24/2020 I purchased a Victorinox Swiss Army I.N.O.X. Professional Diver 241734.1 eBay seller watchgrabber for $182.92 plus tax, roughly $195 total.

The watch was listed as "New With Tags". I received it today 8/27/2020, and it is not new. At best it is a display model, at worst a used watch being sold as new.

There were no plastics on it, and after removing the rubber bumper I discovered scratches, dings and gouges on both the case and bezel. Pics below.





I have contacted the seller to see how they'd like to resolve this. I'll update this if I hear anything.

Shameless. He knew exactly what he was doing. Hope you get your money back!

That's awful. Hoping for a smooth and good resolution.

Wow that is not even close. Frankly if I bought a display model that looked like that it'd be borderline.

Is there an eBay description for, "Scratched to $#!+ With Tags"?

That's very disappointing. After seeing the box mine came in without any paperwork I suspected these may be returns and display models. I may have got lucky, mine looks new. Let's see what others get.

Return shouldn't be a problem.

Update: Seller offered $40 for me to keep it, or a full refund with return. I chose to return and further stated that the watch was not in the condition they advertised.

Seller's rep mentioned that given my comments they would "look over the condition of their stock more closely".

Watch is now on it's way back.

Best resolution.
They didn't sell you a new watch, a return was the best you could ask for if an exchange was not possible.

[mention]ManOnTime[/mention] Thanks for the update. Glad it worked out in the end....ish - did you have to pay return shipping?

No, I asked for and they issued a paid UPS label.

They have received the return, and I have received a full refund. I consider the matter closed.

I can’t stop thinking of Mr. Banana Grabber from Arrested Devlopment...



I guess it would just be a guy who, you know, grabs bananas and runs. Or a banana that grabs things. I don't know. Why would a banana grab another banana? I mean those are the kind of questions I don't want to answer.
